Answer: Passive voice is used in the sentence.

Explanation:

Passive voice is used when we want to emphasize the action and the object, and not the subject. In that case, the subject is either not significant or not included in the active sentence. The object from the active sentence is used as a subject in the passive sentence.

We form a passive construction in the following way:

auxiliary verb (verb to be or modal verb) + past participle

In this sentence, 'had been used' is a passive form, as it contains past perfect tense of the verb to be and past participle of the verb 'to use'.
